The Franklin County Rotary Club, Lefty's Brewing Company and the Greenfield Recreation Department will be hosting their fifth annual Riverside Blues & BBQ Festival at Beacon Field in Greenfield, MA on October 10th & 11th, 2015. The multi-day festival features a New England Barbecue Society Grilling Contest, a Kansas City Barbeque Society Contest (Official State Championship), as well as Beer, Blues Music, vendors, and fun and exciting competitions. The event is officially sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society with professional BBQ teams competing.

From 2011-2013 we received a Proclamation from the Governor to make our competition an official State Championship Contest. As a State Championship Competition contest, we are a qualifier for two of the biggest BBQ contests in the nation, The Jack Daniel's and the American Royal.

2015 Judges Now Being Accepted for our Waitlist. Judges are often needed from the waitlist based on team enrollment. We encourage all to submit
applications.

Parking for the Festival will be available at the 48 Sanderson Street Lot (across from the Hospital) and at the Greenfield Middle School Lots. The Greenfield Trolley will provide shuttle service from these locations to Beacon Field.
